An Ohio woman claimed an officer assaulted her and refused to let her put on clothes as he arrested her, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.

The March 2017 incident started because of a noise complaint made in Euclid, a suburb of Cleveland. Shajuan Gray was at home when Officer James Aoki knocked on her door. She'd just showered and came to the door in a towel, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court.

Gray turned off her music as requested and stated she needed to put on clothes. But Aoki "unlawfully forced his way" into Gray's home, pushed her roughly against a freezer and arrested her, according to the suit. Her breasts were exposed to Aoki and Gray's neighbors.

Gray was led to Aoki's cruiser wearing only the towel, the suit alleges. She claims her civil rights were violated.

Aoki's body-worn camera was not turned on, according to local media, but another officer recorded part of Gray's arrest. A dispatcher with the Euclid Police Department said the records unit was closed Saturday and wouldn't open until Monday.

Gray was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing official business and faced a noise violation. She hired a defense attorney and, seven months later, was acquitted by a jury, the suit says.

The suit claims Aoki gave false testimony in an attempt to cover up misconduct.

Among the allegations against Aoki and Euclid Police are malicious prosecution and unlawful search and seizure.

U.S. District Judge James S. Gwin, in a separate lawsuit brought by a mother after a Euclid officer shot and killed her son, wrote in July that Euclid Police "seems to view the use of force (including deadly force) with cavalier indifference."

The judge pointed to questionable training materials used by the department. One poster has a graphic of an officer beating a man trying to shield his head with his arms. The poster includes the line: "protecting and serving the poop out of you."
